Green Salad with Pears, Feta and Cinnamon Walnuts

Cinnamon Walnuts:1 C walnuts, chopped1/4 C sugar1/8 t cinnamondash saltSalad:2 heads green leafy lettuce1/2 red onion1 C feta cheese4 Bartlett pearsDressing:1/3 C + 2 T apple cider vinegar (don't laugh at my math skills please.)1/2 C sugar1/2 C mayonnaise (I used light)1/4 C red onion, roughly chopped1/2 C + 2 T canola oil (again, I am not a mathematician....)1/4 t dry mustard1/2 t saltJuice from 1 lemon1.
In a large hot skillet add your chopped walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, and
salt. Cook them over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sugar
dissolves and begins to make a candy coating along the nuts. Be careful
not to let them burn. Pour them out onto a cookie sheet to cool.2. Put all of your dressing
ingredients, but the oil into a blender. Turn the old girl on, and
slowly add your oil. Let it blend for about 1 minute after the oil has
been added.3. Chop up your lettuce, red onion, crumble up your feta and add all three to a large bowl.4.
Just before serving slice and chop your pears. Add them to the salad
and sprinkle with the Cinnamon Walnuts. Add the dressing a little at a
time, and stir the salad to incorporate.You may have a bit of the
dressing left over, depending on how large your heads of lettuce are.
Don't drowned the salad....you just need enough so that all parts of
the salad are lightly coated.

***NOTE: The pears, cinnamon walnuts
and dressing should be added just before serving. Brown pears, soggy
nuts and wilted lettuce will be your fate if they are added before
hand.***
